The BNP Paribas Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, under the patronage of the President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron launch One Planet Fellowship.

This philanthropic programme’s objective is to support 600 African and European researchers working to help Africa adapt to climate change. It also aims to bolster the African and European scientific community working in this field.

One Planet Fellows will collaborate in research and higher education projects that aim to advance agriculture and climate change issues, funded by the Agropolis Foundation over a five-year period with a budget of €5M.
